Adobe InDesign by what i could tell from testing the program last spring is usually used for making prints such as Posters, Brochures and Magazines. but what do i think of it?
So for this 2-page spread project I originally struggled on what images I should choose to wrap the text around but eventually I decided on doing a sort of mid 80s-90s car magazine as all the cars you see here are from that time period. the part i struggled with the most was the wrapping of the text around the images, especially the Porsche 928 (Which is on the very left column) and the Ford Sierra Cosworth (Which is on the 4th column if you're reading from left to right) as I wasn't able to figure out how to get that small chunk of text on top of the cars gone. I really need to work on my wrapping skills
For this drawing I chose the Letters G, J, and S. I drew the S in a Transitional Font (Baskerville), I drew the g in a Slab Serif Font (Rockwell), and finally, I drew the j in a Sans Serif Font (Helvetica). The way I chose these three letters of the English lexicon is quite childish to be honest, I played eeny meeny miny moe several times to choose random letters when I was doing the initial five out of six sketches I was supposed to do.
To summarize, my experience in the trip was great. especially in the Character Design workshop where we learned how to fold and make a zine (pronounced zeen) which is a small book consisting of 8 pages (including the cover), also we learned how to make character turn arounds which involves drawing a sort of target on which ever part of the face depending on the position of your character and then you draw the eyes and the rest of the face. This is what the Zines look like This is what I meant by "character turnarounds" and "targets" Anyways moving on from the Character Design I took a pic of some designs that really caught my interest (about 14 but i will only show 2 because why not) The text is sort of unreadable because the original image was blurry. I tried using the unblur feature my phone had and its still quite unreadable. If you still cant read this, it says: Medium: Ink crayon, handmade stamps, paper collage. digital Imprint: Alfred A.
